Update...not so bright...

Stillrunning, yeah, I posted them in this thread: http://www.wellcraftv20.com/cgi-bin/...74033;start=15

At the moment I think I'm going to push forward with the V. My main concern is properly replacing the stringers and bulkheads without introducing a twist into the hull, figuring out the best material to use for the stringer core and figuring out the best way to make a properly sized stringer. I sent an e-mail to the wellcraft contact Reel posted in the "links" section yesterday asking if they might have replacement stringers (long shot, I know) or more realistally templates to make replacement stringers from and heard nothing back so far. Everything I've read suggests a host of materials to use, but I have yet to find a place to buy any core materials (other than Coosa Board).

As for fishing, I have the keys to a Wellcraft 23Excel that's usually in a slip so no woories there. I can still fish while the V is laid up.

Kajun, if you'd like to swing by and see first hand what I've got send me a PM and we'll work something out. I'll even throw in a few beers if ya want ;D

Now that I think about it maybe one evening I'll have to throw a V cookout together for all the local (Hampton Roads) guys....and anyone else willing to make the trip....Hmmm.
